What are the potential issues with using iframes to display details in PHP web development?

One potential issue with using iframes to display details in PHP web development is that it can lead to poor user experience and SEO implications. Instead of using iframes, a better approach would be to dynamically load content using AJAX requests and update the DOM accordingly. 

// Example of using AJAX to dynamically load content in PHP

// HTML file with a container to display details
<div id="detailsContainer"></div>

// JavaScript code to make AJAX request and update the details container
<script>
    // Make an AJAX request to fetch details
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open('GET', 'details.php', true);
    xhr.onload = function() {
        if (xhr.status >= 200 && xhr.status < 300) {
            document.getElementById('detailsContainer').innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
        } else {
            console.error('Request failed: ' + xhr.statusText);
        }
    };
    xhr.send();
</script>

// PHP file (details.php) to fetch and display details
<?php
// Fetch details from database or any other source
$details = "Details fetched from database";

// Display details
echo $details;
?>
